I'm just not very computer literate, but I'm trying!:thumbup: I am anxious to chat with any Jazzy Junies that are getting banded on June 17th by Dr. Kuri in Tijuana, Mexico. Also, any June Bugs who may be lurking out there! Kerry :cursing:

I am also joining the June Bandsters. My surgery is the same as yours, Susanm, June 12, in Cincinnati. I mirror everyone's sentiments; I am scared, nervous, EXCITED! While I know my focus should be on preparing for this huge change and becoming healthier, I am still wondering "how much and how fast?" I have seen some people lose tremendous amounts of weight in the first few months and others toil on for longer. I am afraid of failing as I have in the past with other diets and am trying to gear for a steady, but slow, weight loss to keep from being discouraged if I am one of those whose weight sticks with me. When I am thinking with my brain, I know there are so many variables that determine the amount and quickness. Either way, I am in this for the lifetime. I want to spend the rest of my life enjoying good health and looking better in pictures than I ever have.

Hi, I went for my first visit with the surgeon last week. I have to see a heart doctor because I have a 40% blockage in one heart artery.... discovered last year. Then I have an EGD on June 3rd. I expect my surgery date to be set for the 3rd or last week of June. Good Luck to you. I'm excited yet a little anxious. Let me know how it goes.

Hello everyone:

I am getting banded on June 6 :lol:and have been reading and posting on this site since February! I am so excited and feel much better prepared for surgery after reading about so many experiences!

Good luck to you all! :blink: Keep reading and posting. It is the sucess of the people who have been banded that keeps me focused on the positive.

I have started my 2 week pre-op diet, which is just low carb, 80-120 gr of carb. I have lost 7 lbs since Friday! That is more than I could loose in a month before. I think it is because I KNOW :thumbup:that this time I am going to be able to keep it off!

There is a thread for June 2008 bansters in the Support Group section under 2008! Check it out. :) I have a thread for the June Line up. I try to put you on this list as soon as I see a new Junie!

Hope to hear more from you in the future! As there is less of you!:biggrin2:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
